Bit of a curate's egg that, good in parts.
Obvious to the tyres, mirror, reg plate and not totally convinced by those engine casings but, overall I rather like it and would happily give it a test ride.

I never refused the offer of a ride when key was offered. Just happier to give some back
I think riding it would have novelty value, but how long before that wore off?
Even bland can be a type of character

I dunno, i think it'd be a great little thing, enough poke, enough handling, enough, everything.
Apart from the headlight setup which i don't like..

Oh, I'd have a go on anything as long as I could fit on it and operate a few key things like brakes, throttle and gears
I'd look after that one for about a month. As long as it was a dry month and all I needed to do was get from a to b with me+phone+wallet.

I agree, but I don't like the looks or tyres

Same here, knobblies belong on an off-road bike, not a posing one.

I like that - without those ridiculous tyres.

Love it and think the tyres suit it. If I owned it I'd change them though and the headlight.

I like the visuals,but it needs proper tyres.
It may look light and minimal,but I'd bet that bike is north of 240kgs.

Doesn't work for me - looks like it's already been in an accident and fixed up to sell.
